MACH 2018 will mark the UK launch of Horn’s DA32 milling system with new, high performance, diamond-tipped inserts. The tools achieve outstanding results when shoulder, face, plunge and circular milling.
Highly positive insert geometry ensures a particularly smooth cut, minimising the stress exerted on the workpiece and the tool. As a result, long cutter life and virtually burr-free machining are ensured, particularly when processing long-chipping materials.
The wide finishing radius creates a high standard of surface quality, even at elevated feed rates. The coolant supply reliably ensures targeted cooling of the cutting edges as well as safe removal of chips from the working zone.
Using a special insert geometry for machining fibre-reinforced plastics combined with the hardness and wear resistance of the CVD thick-film diamond coating, outstanding levels of cutting performance are achieved. Horn’s tried and tested diamond substrates guarantee that the cutting edges, produced using state-of-the-art laser technology, work efficiently.
These attributes, together with the rigidity of the quenched and tempered steel as well as the wear-resistant TiN coating of the various tool holders, combine to makes the benefits of the cutting system a reality. The head, screwed shank and end mill in the DA32 system are available in diameters from 20 mm to 63 mm and incorporate between two and six inserts.
